Kabir spoke -
"Woh actually,
Yeh link mujhe,
Kshiteej ne hi send ki thi..." I was shocked.
"Kyaaa..." I screeched.
"Haan Shweta,
Yeh link, Kshiteej ne hi mujhe send ki thi,
aur usne mujhe yeh bhi bola tha,
Ki main tujhe kabhi yeh naa bolu, ki yeh link, usne mujhe send ki hain!"
I was flabbergasted, listening to his words.
"Ek second...ek second" I exclaimed loudly, stopping him from continuing any further and I continued -
"Kshiteej ne yeh link, tujhe send ki thi..."
He nodded with a YES, as I continued -
"Aur usne tujhe yeh baat, secret rakhne ko boli"
He again nodded with a YES.
"Haan...but usse tujhe kya problem hain, tu toh teri baat bata, jiske liye aaj apan mile hain!" Kabir stated.
"Nahi..Nahi ruk" I again, exclaimed loudly.
"Iska matlab, Kshiteej ko iss link ke baare mein, sab kuch pata tha?" I screeched in utter desperation.
"Haan!" Kabir continued -
"Usko pata honga, tabhi toh usne mujhe send kiya honga na!

Par phir bhi, Kshiteej ne yeh baat, tujhse secret rakhne ko kyu bola?"
"Tu kya bol rahi hain - mujhe kuch samajh nahi raha hain!" Kabir commented.
"Arre main bol rahi hoon -
Ki even if yeh link tujhe, SABSE PEHLE, Kshiteej ne send ki thi -
Tab bhi, usne tujhe yeh baat, secret rakhne ko kyu boli
YA
tune yeh baat mujhe kyu nahi batai?"
"OH SHIT...I am SORRY SHWETA" he giggled and I sank in disappointment.
"Maine tujhse ek aur baat chupai hain..." Kabir whispered, and I was no longer normal.
"Ab kya bolna baaki hain, mere bhai?" It was getting out of mind, as I was frustrated, with the half-knowledge of each and every situation, which was simply confusing me.
"Woh actually,
Jab mujhe tera answer mila tha na, uske ek-do din baad, main aur Kshiteej aise hi mile thee -
Toh jab woh link ka topic nikla, toh maine baaton-baaton mein bol diya, ki I know Shweta's answer -
